Specification	Google Pixel 8 Pro	Apple iPhone 15
Release year	2023	2023
Display	6.7-inch (170 mm) Super Actua LTPO OLED; 1344 × 2992 at 489 PPI; 20:9; Smooth Display (1–120 Hz) An LTPO panel can drop the refresh rate as low as 1 Hz for static content, saving power with the always-on display and while reading, and rises to 120 Hz for motion. Google notes it is not available for all apps or content. Because the corners are rounded, the actual viewable area is less than 6.7 inches. Google	6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED; 2556 × 1179 at 460 ppi; Dynamic Island Dynamic Island turns the front camera cut-out into an area for alerts and live activities. Apple does not list ProMotion for this model, so the screen is not 120 Hz. Apple
Brightness and contrast	Up to 1,600 nits (HDR) and up to 2,400 nits (peak); >1,000,000:1 contrast; HDR support, full 24-bit colour Google measures the HDR figure at a 100% on-pixel ratio and the peak figure at a 5% on-pixel ratio; 2,400 nits is a ceiling for small bright areas. Google	1000 nits typical; 1600 nits HDR peak; 2000 nits outdoor peak; 2,000,000:1 contrast The outdoor peak is used briefly in strong sunlight; the HDR peak applies to HDR video and photos. Apple
Front and back glass	Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 cover glass; matte Gorilla Glass Victus 2 back; polished aluminium frame The matte back shows fewer fingerprints; the standard Pixel 8 has a polished back and a matte frame. Google	—
Processor	Google Tensor G3; Titan M2 security coprocessor Tensor G3 includes a TPU that accelerates on-device AI models. Titan M2 is a separate security chip that protects the lock screen and encryption keys. Google	—

Rear cameras	50 MP Octa PD wide (ƒ/1.68, 1/1.31", 82°); 48 MP Quad PD ultrawide (ƒ/1.95, 125.5°, autofocus); 48 MP Quad PD telephoto (ƒ/2.8, 21.8°, 5x optical); Super Res Zoom up to 30x Optical and electronic stabilisation work together on the wide and telephoto cameras. Zoom beyond 5x is digital. Pro controls allow manual shutter, ISO and focus and high-resolution (50 MP) shots. A multi-zone laser autofocus sensor helps focus in low light. Google	48 MP Main (ƒ/1.6, sensor-shift OIS); 12 MP Ultra Wide (ƒ/2.4, 120°); 12 MP 2x Telephoto (ƒ/1.6, sensor-shift OIS) The 2x telephoto is not a separate lens; it uses the centre of the 48 MP sensor. Digital zoom goes up to 10x. Apple
Video	Rear: 4K and 1080p at 24/30/60 fps, 10-bit HDR; front: 4K at 24/30/60 fps; Video Boost and Night Sight Video; slow motion up to 240 fps; digital zoom up to 20x Video Boost uploads video to Google’s servers to reprocess colour, lighting and stabilisation; it needs the Google Photos app and the result is not instant. Night Sight Video uses this processing in low light. Google	4K Dolby Vision at 24/25/30/60 fps; Cinematic mode up to 4K HDR at 30 fps; Action mode up to 2.8K at 60 fps; 1080p slo-mo at 120/240 fps Apple

Temperature sensor	Contactless temperature sensor in the rear camera bar Google says the sensor can measure the temperature of an object, such as a pan or milk in a baby’s bottle. Google said it applied to the FDA for body-temperature use; that use depends on the country. Google	—
Battery and charging	5,050 mAh typical (4,950 mAh minimum); up to 30 W wired, about 50% in 30 minutes; Qi wireless (23 W on Pixel Stand 2nd gen, 12 W on Qi EPP); Battery Share Google quotes beyond 24-hour battery life and up to 72 hours in Extreme Battery Saver (many features including 5G off). Figures use the separately sold Google 30 W USB-C charger (USB-PD 3.0 PPS). Battery Share significantly reduces the phone’s battery life. Google	—
